I think if you give them neat orange juice it is meant to help, plus plenty of fluid generally. My ds didn't poo for 2 and a bit days and the end result was....interesting !!

Yes, but def try to get some OJ. Or just fruit generally. Enjoy!

Has she done one yet?

definitely oj, or for a real dynamite effect try prunes and custard for pudding
